IN THE RING
Jim Cornette and the “Egotistical Eight”: Jim Cornette said there have been some problems since last week, and called out the people he has named the “Egotistical Eight” – Matt Morgan, Kip James, BG James, James Storm, Robert Roode, Booker T, Sting, and Amazing Kong. Jim Cornette said every participant, except for Sting (thanks for that), has been phoning him all week long demanding to know who their partner would be. Cornette said the teams would be drawn at random throughout the night. Cornette first drew Sting’s name out, and then Sting drew the name of “Cowboy” James Storm. Sting and James Storm will team up in the Deuces Wild tournament. Storm got in Sting’s face saying he was never a Stinger fan and didn’t want to be his tag partner. They started to fight, so Jim Cornette said the teams that are drawn tonight would each wrestle each other in no disqualification matches!
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW
Jeremy Borash & Scott Steiner & Petey Williams & Rhaka Khan + Kurt Angle: Jeremy Borash interviewed Scott Steiner about his match when Kurt Angle showed up in a second limo.

BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW

LAX (Homicide and Hernandez) joined in and Hernandez gave Christian a Border-toss onto the concrete floor! (Actually it was dark and gimmicked)
TNA KNOCKOUTS IMMUNITY MATCH
Gail Kim defeated Velvet Skye and Angelina Love and Tracy Brooks and Jackie Moore and Salinas and Christy Hemme and Roxxi Leveaux and ODB: The object of the match was to climb the pole and retrieve a set of barber shears.
